I am making it now for the second time and will make it many times more.

I like it in cookies and brownies and cakes and especially in bhajis (I've got recipes on this blog for those crispy Indian veggie fritters, one of our family favorites). <br /><br />If I was making a delicate tasting item, I would use rice flour instead, but I like to use chickpea flour a lot because it adds a little flour, which is often lacking in my gf baking.<br /><br />-RachelRachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10211857370548116268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889046160451485982.post-36842621602478180472009-05-26T19:03:22.930-04:002009-05-26T19:03:22.930-04:00I have many recipes of my Grams that call for "a b...I have many recipes of my Grams that call for "a bit of this and a tad of that" that I'm working with my mom to decipher.
